Why it is important for decision-makers to evaluate security features before investing in networking equipment
 As connectivity expands between machines on the factory floor to devices and corporate offices managing the supply chain, industrial networks require enhanced security to help ensure data is protected and flowing efficiently between network assets.
Network expansion into the field is most easily accomplished by using industrial routers to provide secure, reliable, high-speed communication. But before making investments in these industrial routers, there are some key factors to keep in mind.
One of the downsides to increasing connectivity is the potential for industrial networks to be more vulnerable to cyber threats, such as remote attacks and viruses. This is one of the reasons why it is important for decision-makers to evaluate security features before investing in networking equipment.
